Sanabul Essential BJJ Shorts
Inexpensive shorts with reinforced stitching and an above-knee cut. The stiff waistband and large hook-and-loop closure are the catches.

Our take
Sanabul's Essential shorts are another low-cost option. Reviewers credit the reinforced stitching and find them comfortable once on, with a length just above the knee.
The weak point is the waist: a stiff band with a large hook-and-loop closure, which some people find less comfortable than an elastic waist like Elite Sports'. Worth it if you find them on sale; otherwise the Elite Sports pair is the better budget buy.
